Circuit Breakers: 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

In an electrical network, a circuit breaker is a device designed to protect the circuit from damage by limiting the passage of electrical current when an overload occurs. The 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A circuit breaker is one of the many available products that can be used in this capacity. It is a two-pole, thermal-type circuit breaker with adjustable trip settings. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles of the 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A circuit breaker.

Application Field

The 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A circuit breaker is designed for use in single-phase, household and commercial electrical networks. It is suitable for single-pole, two-pole and three-pole installations and can be used with branch circuit breakers or direct mounting on a circuit board. The rated short-circuit current (Icu) of the 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A circuit breaker is 10 kA. The rated working voltage (Ue) is 500 V AC/50 Hz.

Working Principle

The 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A circuit breaker is a thermal-type breaker. This type of breaker works by using the heat generated by the current passing through it to open the contacts. The actual breaker uses a bimetallic strip, which is composed of two different metals joined together. When current passes through the circuit, the strip is heated and bends due to the differential expansion of the metals. When the strip bends far enough, it trips a lever that causes the contacts to open and the current to be interrupted. The breaker also has an adjustable trip setting, which allows the user to set the level at which the breaker trips.

Advantages

Thermal-type circuit breakers, such as the 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A, are advantageous for their quick response time and low cost. They are capable of quickly sensing an overload or short circuit in an electrical network and interrupting the current, thus protecting the circuit from damage. Additionally, they are generally cheaper to produce and install compared to other types of circuit breakers.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of thermal-type circuit breakers is that they are temperature-sensitive. If an overload or short circuit occurs in an electrical network for an extended period of time, the breaker may become so hot that it can no longer trip and thus, is no longer effective in protecting the circuit. Additionally, to properly protect a circuit from overloads, the trip setting needs to be set correctly, which can be time-consuming and requires technical knowledge.

Conclusion

The 1658-F02-00-P10-055800-15A circuit breaker is a two-pole, thermal-type circuit breaker with adjustable trip settings. It is suitable for single-pole, two-pole and three-pole installations and can be used with branch circuit breakers or direct mounting on a circuit board. It is designed for use in single-phase, household and commercial electrical networks. Thermal-type circuit breakers such as this one are advantageous for their quick response time and low cost, but are temperature-sensitive and require time-consuming manual setting.
